Butanedioic acid, oxo-,bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) ester, ion(1-), potassium (9CI)

Description:

Butanedioic acid, oxo-, bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) ester, ion(1-), potassium (9CI), commonly known as potassium bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) oxobutanedioate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups and the presence of a potassium ion. This compound features a butanedioic acid backbone, which is a dicarboxylic acid, modified by the addition of two tert-butyl groups (1,1-dimethylethyl) at the ester positions. The presence of the oxo group indicates a carbonyl functionality, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. As a potassium salt, it exhibits ionic characteristics, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemical substances. Its stability, reactivity, and solubility properties make it of interest in both industrial and research settings. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
